Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and position before installation. This part uses a female round connector with 1 connector and 3 male terminals, so matching the vehicle-side harness is important for proper electrical engagement. Some listed applications note that a connector is required for proper installation of the side marker light socket or fuel tank selector valve-related lighting service, and certain vehicles specify 90-degree socket or short-design configurations. Confirm the exact year, make, model, and position against the vehicle before replacing the original socket.
